r.e. "DEV=m2crypto,zanshin" -- Instead of "," perhaps we should
choose a separator that is less likely to be used in a future branch
name. I just can see someone naming a future branch "special-
jpg,png,tiff" or something like that.
How about ':' (Unix path-ish), or ';' (DOS path-ish)?
Perusing the doc, it appears that any valid URL character, or URL-
encoded character is legal (so UTF-8 is legal).
